 *  IPC Ports are essentially standard Exec message Ports except   *
 *  for added fields to keep track of their usage.  Also they      *
 *  are kept on their own list.                                    *
 *                                                                 *
 *  NOTE: IPCPorts are READ-ONLY TO ALL APPLICATION PROGRAMS!!     *
 *   -- their internal data must be changed ONLY by the library    *
 *  routines; for example, their ln_Node must NEVER be used by an  *
 *  application to hang them on a local list (even if they are     *
 *  anonymous).                                                    *
 *                                                                 *
 *  Note that the port name has to be kept WITHIN the structure    *
 *  also, as the process that created it may go away.  The size    *
 *  field holds the size of the structure including the name, so   *
 *  it may be deleted safely when no longer needed.                *
 *                                                                 *
